Democratic presidential candidates find breaking out of record field is tough
By Chelsea Janes Chelsea Janes Reporter covering the 2020 presidential campaign Email Bio Follow April 19 at 6:00 AM DES MOINES — By the time Rep. Eric Swalwell of California announced he was running for the Democratic presidential nomination, he was the 18th person to do so. Or maybe he was the 17th, since Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Ind., did not formally transform his exploratory committee into an all-out presidential campaign until days later.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, a Democratic presidential candidate, talks with Ron Perry, of Hamburg, Iowa, while touring flood damage on April 12, 2019. As Swalwell made his first trip to Iowa as an official presidential candidate last weekend, he was not the only candidate trying to be distinguished in the state whose first-in-the-nation caucus signals the destinies of so many candidacies.
His campaign is operating on the assumption that Swalwell simply cannot be the other candidates in the face, so he should not try. Instead, he will be himself — a white male from the Bay Area suburbs at a time when the energy of the party seems headed elsewhere. Shady asked Swalwell how he will sell gun reforms to Iowans, who have a lower murder rate in their state than that of Swalwell’s home state, California, where guns are more regulated. After Swalwell’s answer, Shady said he felt the congressman was mistaken about the facts: “If this is his big policy,” Shady said, “he should know about it.”
Inslee previously appeared on “Fox and Friends” — President Trump’s favored morning show — to release his tax returns and challenge the president to do the same. Inslee’s campaign said part of the governor’s shtick is not shtick at all, just a fact of his personality. He is not, they argue, using those moments to differentiate himself from the rest of the pack, but rather just to be himself. His track record as Washington’s governor, his staff believes, should be enough to make him singular.
